Our condolences to you, Bill, and the kids, and your family at this time of loss.
To the Wilson and Baker families my condolence. My grandfather was also a WWII Navy Vet that has since moved on. William Wilsons, obituary is a nice snapshot of the kind of man he was but can never fully tell the story of the man. Only the friends and family he influenced in life can paint the whole picture. God bless.
The greatest father and the best father-in-law, you will be missed always. We know you went home and we are eagerly anticipating the day when we will all be together again.
Dad, we LOVE you.
Kathy, We would like to express our condolences to you and your family for your loss. As the days go by, remember to celebrate your grandfather’s life and the legacy which he leaves you.
God Bless you. Margaret, Janet and Team Matrix.
